r/MTB

Trek Roscoe. About the same pricing and same components as the grand canyon. Just got one for my wife yesterday who Started mountain biking.

Roadie here looking to get into MTB after already getting into gravel.  

Sorry, I know questions like this have been posted before. But just looking for any new input since most of the posts I found in search refer to 2021 or earlier Model Years and it seems like new tech/bikes/builds come out practically weekly.

Looking to spend not more than $1500 or so. Riding around where I live is probably split between "Trail"/"XC".  Probably a more "trail", but gotta climb everywhere.  Ideally also looking for a bike that I won't be itching to spend money to upgrade components. (I know nobody "needs" to buy upgrades, but come on... we know what we are...)

The [Grand Canyon 7](https://www.canyon.com/en-us/mountain-bikes/trail-bikes/grand-canyon/grand-canyon-7/2617.html?dwvar_2617_pv_rahmenfarbe=BU%2FBK#all-components-section-tab) comes in around $1300. SRAM SX, Dropper Post, Judy Silver Air Fork. Not sure how Canyon works, but on the Canada site the also list a [Grand Canyon 8](https://www.canyon.com/en-ca/mountain-bikes/trail-bikes/grand-canyon/grand-canyon-8/2619.html?dwvar_2619_pv_rahmenfarbe=GY%2FRD#all-components-section-tab) which I don't see listed on the US site.   Looks like the upgrades from the 7 are SRAM SX to Shimano Deore 12, and the Judy fork to a Fox 34 Rhythm.  Price converted to USD is just over $1500. That would actually probably be perfect for what I want. From what I've read SX and the Judy fork are "okay", whereas Deore and the Fox would be a definite step up. But, I don't know if I can actually buy it.  Canyon Canada also gets a [Stotic 3](https://www.canyon.com/en-ca/mountain-bikes/trail-bikes/stoic/stoic-3/2660.html?dwvar_2660_pv_rahmenfarbe=GY#all-components-section-tab) at about $1400 (converted to USD), wheres the US site only lists a Stoic 2 ($1200 but 10sp &amp; no Dropper post), or a Stoic 4 ($2000= more than I want to spend).

The other option I see around is the [Polygon Xtrada 7](https://www.polygonbikes.com/product/mountain/xtrada-7-4/). Their US dealer BikesOnline has it around $1k. Comes with Deore 12 and thru-axles. But the fork, Suntour XCR32 Air, (from what I've seen online) seems to be a bit of a let down. Though not sure if it would feel like that to me, who's used to rigid road bike.  Also it isn't  15x110 spacing like the Canyons.  So any Fork upgrade I assume also means you need new wheel/hub as well. The Xtrada also has 27.2 seatpost and doesn't come with a Dropper. So, $1000 upfront, but get a Dropper (what are they like $150 give or take?) and it inches closer to the Grand Canyon7 in price while not having as nice a fork (but does have Deore 12). Not sure what a fork upgrade would cost/if there are any Forks worth upgrading to that would have the same 15x100 spacing.  

As an aside, what does it take to upgrade from something like a Deore 10/11sp to 12?  Just cassette and adjust the Deraileur?  Or do you need new hubs, Deraileurs, shifters, etc?

Anyway, apologies for the wall-o-text.  A bit bored at work here on Friday and maybe I got a bit carried away hahah. Thanks in advance for any input!

Edit: Canyon basically said &quot;That&#39;s rough buddy&quot;. No potential option to buy the Stoic 3 or GC8, unless I meet a friendly Canadian who be my bicycling smuggling mule.

Edit: Have been convinced to stay away from SRAM SX. Have ordered the Xtrada7.

Is there a better "budget" MTB out there than the Grand Canyon 7 that is available in the US?

Just got the bike a couple days ago and today (July/9/2022) I went to Culham Trails in Mississauga and had a blast. 

I would buy the bike again

 My only complaint of the 2021 Roscoe 8 was that the front was a little heavy. Other than that, great bike! I think the 2022 model will be even better. 9/10 would recommend.

 I have taken this thing to downhill parks and 25 ft+ jumps. Really sturdy bike. My only complaint of the 2021 Roscoe 8 was that the front was a little heavy. Other than that, great bike! I think the 2022 model will be even better

Roscoe is an extremely good bike

I'd look at the Kona Dew series instead of the Treks. For a bigger guy that isn't racing I'd want a wider tire, and the FX surely doesn't give you that. The Checkpoint is a good gravel bike, but it comes with (barely adequate) 28 spoke wheels that are really too narrow for the wider tires you'll want to run.

Cycling community,

I come to you today seeking your collective advice. This is a throwaway account for obvious reasons.

I’m a 34 year old male, a former smoker for 20 years (*I quit two months ago!*),  and am overweight. I’m 6’ and roughly 240lbs. I’m strongly considering  getting into cycling to lose this weight. For reference I’ve been  overweight since I was 16.

I live  in Colorado. Most of my biking will be on cement, asphalt, and some dirt  roads. I don’t intend to try anything “mountainous” for the time being –  but would like to be able to tackle some beginner trails eventually. I  also intend to use it to commute to work (about ½ mile each way). I plan  on getting a trunk mounted bike carrier for my car so I can go places.

I’m  trying to find a bike and from what I’ve read I’m either looking at a  “Hybrid” or a “Gravel” bike. The two that have caught my eye, if I’m on  the right track here, are the Checkpoint ALR 4 and the FX Sport Carbon  4. Both of these bikes are made by TREK.

What  do you all recommend? Or am I too big for these bikes? Should I be  looking for a different kind of bike? I have not climbed on a bike for,  like, 18+ years.

Thank you everyone for the help. I need it.

Seeking advice. I'm 34, overweight, and want to get into cycling for weight loss and recreation.

I suggest it a lot in here, but the Kona Dew sounds like it fits what you’re looking for. They also have the Coco that may even be more the style you are looking for. They have big, fast rolling, and comfortable tires

Basically what I’m searching for is a bike that’s very comfortable to ride but isn’t painfully slow or heavy. Ideally I want to be able to use it for exercise and for commuting to somewhere like a store. I’m really fond of Dutch style upright bicycles but i know they are super heavy and are not very fast. I’m looking for something in between that and a more traditional road bike that would be more lightweight and quicker. The roads here where I live are relatively flat, but are designed specifically for cars so space for walking and biking is quite limited. Ideally i’d like to keep it under 750$ but i will go as high as 1000$

looking for an entry level bike that is a good mixture of comfort and performance. (&lt;1000$)

I think Kona Dew range is the best combo of quality and value for money for 650b commuter bike. Would definitely recommend.

Prefer under 25lbs if possible.  Would also like disk brakes.  

Why do I want 650b tires?  I want a cushy ride and a lower stand over height.  So far, I’ve considered the Kona Dew plus.  

Budget $850. I don’t mind getting a used bike to stay in budget.

Looking for commuter / hybrid with 650b tires.

1, the Marin Fairfax 1 or 2, and the Kona Dew. I've also been interested in some 20-year old or so used bikes rebuilt by a local bike shop, though their stock is limited. For comfort, I hear a steel frame would be good, but new bikes in my price range with a steel frame seem scarce.
